teeing that the man was very pout, gave him
for his housekeeping a hundred dollars*
The weaver was overjoyed at. the gift, and
resolved on employing it lo the gieatest ad
vantage, but would first fora time feast Ins
eyes on the shining money. He would not
tell his wile of his good fortune, who hap
pened just then to he ftom home, and con
cealed the money where no one would think
of looking lor it, namely, among same old
tags. One day, while he wag out, a rag col
lector came to the house, and his wife sold
him the whole bundle of rags for a few
pence. Now there was grief of heart when
the weaver returned, and his wife, full of
joy, showed him the tiifte of money she got
for the old tags.
When a year had passed, the three stu
dents came again, hoping to find the weaver
in comfitlalde c icumstatices; instead of
which they found him poorer than ever, and
on expressing wonder for this, he inform
ed them of his misfortune. After warning
him to be more careful in future; they gave
him another hundred dollars. Now he
thought he would be more prudent, so with
out saying a word to iiis wife, he hid the
money in a dust tub; and this time it fell out
just as on the former occasion. H is wife
exchanged the ashes with a dustman, for two
or three pieces of soap, while her husband
was just gone out to carry some wotk to a
customer. When he leturned and was told
of the bargain of the ashes, he was so en
raged that he gave his wife a heating.
When another year had passed, the three
students came for the third time, and found
the weaver in rags and misety. They said,
throwing at the same time a piece of lead at
his feet, “Of what use is a nutmeg to a
cow] to give lltee money again, would
ptove us to be greater fools than thou art.
We will never come to thee again.” There
upon they went away in anger, and the
weaver picked up the piece of lead and laid
it on the window sill.— Soon alter his neigh
bor entered the room he was a fisherman —
hade him good day, and said, “My friend,
have you perch-uicea piece of lead, or any
thing heavy, that I can use for my net? for
I have just now nothing at hand.” The
weaver gave him the piece of lead which
the students had left, for which the fisher
man thanked him, a d promised that he
J should have in return the first large fish he
i caught. “Very well.” replied the weaver,
! “but it is not worth speaking about.” Soon
after the fisherman actually brought a-fine
fish weighing four or five pounds, and o-
bliged his neighbor to accept it. He im
mediately cut up the fish, and found a great
This stone the weaver
also laid on the window sill. In the even
ing when it became dark, the slone began
to shine, and the datker it grew the brighter
the stone became, and just like a candle.
“That’s a cheap lamp,” said the weaver to
his wife: “wouldst thout not like to dispose
of it as thout didst the two hundred dol
lars]” and he placed the stone so that it il
luminated the whole room. The next even
ing a merchant chanced to ride pass the
house, who, on seeing the brilliant stone,
alighted anti entered the room, looked at it,
ami offered ten dollars for it. The weaver
answered, “that it was not for sale.”
“What, not for twenty dollars]” “Not
even for that,” replied the weaver. The
merchant, however, kept on bidding and
bidding for the stone, until at last he offeted
a thousand dollars, for the stone was a pte-
cious diamond, and really worth much
more. Now the weaver stiuck the bargain,
and was the richest man in the village. His
wife would have the la3t word, and took
much credit to herself, saying—“See, hus
band, how well it was that 1 threw away
the money twice, for thou hast me to thank
for this good luck.”

WONDERFUL TREES.
Among the remarkable trees in the world,
the following, of which we have compiled
brief descriptions, are some of the most i
curious:
The Brazil'tiuf Tree.—The Brazil-nut
ttee may justly command the at’ention of
the enthusiastic naturalist. This tree thrives
well in the province of Brazil, and immense
quantities of its delicious fruit ate annually
expotted to foreign counlties. It grows
to the height of from 50 to 80 feet, and in
appearance is one of the most magestic or- ;
namentsof the forest. The fruit, in its na
tural position, resembles a cocoa-nut, being
exttremely hard, and about the size of a
child’s head. Each one of these shells con- !
tains front 12 to 20 of these three cornered ;
nuts, nicely packed together. And to ob- 1
tain the nuts as they appear in market,
these shells have to be broken open. Dur- j
ing t ie season of their falling it is danger- :
ous t" enter the groves where they abound, :
as the force of their descent is sulficetit to;
knock down the strongest man. The na- j

The Cannon ball Tree.—Among the
plants of Guinea, one of the most curious is
the cannon-ball tree. It grows fc to the height
of sixty feet, and its flowers are remarka
ble for beauty and fragrance, and contra
dictory-qualities. Its blossoms are of a de
licious ctims-n, appearing iu large bunches,
and exhaling a rich perfume. The fruit
resembles enormous cannon-balls; hence
the name. However, some say it has been
so called because of the noise which the
balls make in bursting. From the shell do
mestic utensils 9re made, and the contents
contain several kinds of acids, besides sugar

A WICKED WIFE.
Here is a terrible story, from Burke’s
Family Romance, showing ‘how the Scotta
of Thirlestane came to beggary.* It is an
Ainsworth’s novel, in half a column.]
“Sir Robert second wife was an unprin
cipled woman, of vindictive temper, and
fierce passions; and by her he had several
children. This woman bad all the quali
ties calculated lo make an oppressive and
cruel step-dame, and accordingly her jeal
ousy was excited by the fond affection
which Sir Robert cisplayed towards bis eld
est son. She knew that his rich inheritance
would descend to him. while her own sons
would receive a very slender provision; be
sides, her husband s excessive attachment
to his eldest son gave her no hope of his
being pursuaded to alienate from him any
poition of the family property, Her jeal
ousy accordingly grew into a disease, and
her mind was distracted with rage and mor
tification. These feelings were still further
aggravated, when Sir Robert built the
Tower of Gamesclough, and adorned that
property with all manner of embellish-
ments, as the future residence of his eld
est son, who was now about to come of age,
and for whom ho had arranged a suitable
anil advantageous matrimonial alliance
with a beautiful young lady of high birth.
The step mother now lost all patience, and
was firmly resolved to compass the destruc
tion of her hated step son. The mason-*
work of the new Castle of Gamescleugh
was completed on the young Laird’s twen
tieth birth day, which was held as a high
festival at Thirlstatie. The lady resolved
that his hours should now he numbered ;
and she accordingly prepared on the in«
tended festival, to execute her horrid pur
pose. She had already secured in her in«*
lerest the family piper, whose name was
John Lally. This man procured three
adders, from which he selected the parts
replete with the most deadly poisons and
having ground them to a fine powder. La

dusty.
Indeed he expressed that sentiment, as .
well as sundry others, through a small aper
ture in the cage, which had beon left for the
purpose of ventilation, but the rumbling of
the wagon drowned all utterance, and Jon- !
athan heard nothing until he was in safety;
near his own house.
Here he staid his flight, and his pris
oner beat a parley. The bodily ex
citement seemed to produce mental seren-
ity.
•Come, sir,’said the official, ‘I own my- i
self second in the game, and I am in your 1

‘Got through looking for contrabands? said
Jonathan.
‘Oh, lot me out was the rejoinder. ‘You
have pounded me on your wood pile till
mv bones are almost broken, and if you will
let me go, give me some water, and lend me
a coat to wear home, you may smuggle if
you like to all eternity, before I look at your
traps again, only keep the exploit to your- i
self.’ i
The collector was released on parole,and I
kept his promise; he however told the story
to his wife. Jonathan never mentioned it,
and how it became public is to this day a
mystery. j

YANKEE INGENUITY.
Not long after the close of the Ia9t war
with Great Britain, there lived a little dis
tance Irom Charty in Clinton county, and
within our line, a trafficking Jot athan, who
often visited the Canada village in his bus
iness, and although he was not known to be
guilty of an infraction of the laws,regulating
duties upon imports, he was strongly sus
pected by the Canadian authorities, and by
the particular officer residing in that vicinity.
Jonathan had often been annoyed by the
strict and somewhat uncivil manner in which
wares were examined for secret contraband
and at last it ritaled by what he deemed an
unjust suspicion of the fairness of hie
invoices, he determined to visit the of
fender with a punishment of his own devis-
HEROISM AND CRUELTY.
A most touching instance of heroism,
and one of the most atrocious acts of cruel
ty, the truth ol which i9 oauched for by the
most respectable authority, occured during
the Columbian struggle for independence.
The Spanish General, Morillo, the most j
ing
Accordingly he had manufactured a box
as wide as his wBgon would allow,and near
ly five feet high, with a cover upon the top,
opening with hinges and secured by a stout
Yankee I'adluck. This he mounted upon
his wagon and it was thus impossible for
any one conveniently to examine the con
tents of his box, even if it were full, save
by climbing up the side of the wagon to the
bloodthirsty and treacherous tool of the
Spanish King, who was created count of
Carthagenia. and Marquis de la Pueria, for 1
services which rather entitled him to the
distinction of butcher or hangman, while
seated in his tent one day during the cam
paign of Carracas, saw a boy before him
drowned in tears. The chief demanded
of hirn for what purpose he was there!
-The child replied that he had come to
beg the life of his father, then a priosner,
in Murillo’s camp.
“What can you do to save your father?”
asked the General.
“I can do hut little but what I can do
shall be done.”
Morillo seized the little fellow’s ear, and
said, “Would you suffer your ear to be taken
off to procure your father's liberty!”
“I certainly would,” was the undaunted
reply.
A soldier was accordingly called and or
dered to cut off the ear with a single stroke
of the knife. The boy wept but did not |
resist while this barbarous order was exe- j
1 cuted.
“Would you lose your other ear rather
than fail of your purpose!”’ was the next
top of the box. Jonathan, however, did not
intend to take a full load at the outset;
but putting in the bottom some billets
of wood, covered with saw dust, he
left ample room for any freight that he
might pick up on his contemplated expedi
tion.
Thus equipped, with a fine span of spirit
ed horses, Jonathan left his house one sum
mer morning, before day break, on his road
I have suffered much, but for my father
: I can suffer still!” was the heroic answer of
: the boy.
The other ear was taken off piecemeal
without flinching on the part of the noble
; child.
“And now go!” exclaimed Morillo, un
touched by nis sublime courage, “the father \
of such a son must die.”
In the presence of his agonized and vain
for Canada, which led him immediately by ]y suffering son, the patriot father was then
the house of the vigilant collector of customs , executed. Never did a life picture exhib- j
the feast at Tbit lest me, the young Laird
went over the Etterick River to Games
cleugh, to inspect the finished work, and, to
regale the masons and other work people
who had exerted themselves to have the
castle walls completed by his birth day.
He was attended by John Lally. In the
miJst of the entertainment of the workmen,
ihe young Laird called for wine to drink
their healths, and John filled his silver cup
from the poisoned bottle, which the ill fated
youth hastily drank off. The piper imme
diately left the castle, as if to letnrn home.
But ho was never more seen. The most
diligent search failed in discovering him ;
and it is supposed that he escaped across
the English border. Young Thirlestane
was instantaneously taken violently ill, and
such was the force of the poison that he
swelled and burst within an hour. The
news was immediately carried to Thirles
tane. where a large party of the kith and
kin of Scott had assembled to do honor to
the festival. But it may easily be conceiv
ed wbat a woeful gathering it turned out
to be. With one accord, the guests felt
and said that the young laird was poisoned,
but wete unable to conceive who could
have done so foul a deed to one universally
beloved. The old barron immediately caus
ed a bugle to be blown, as a signal to all
the family to assemble in the castle court.
He then inquired ‘Are we all here!’ A
voice fromthe crowd answered ‘Alt but that
piper. John Laly!’ This sounded like a
knell in the eats of Sir Robert. He knew
the confidence which his lady placed in this
servant. His eyes were at once open to
the foul deed, and the conviction that his
most dear and beloved son had been slain
by the machinations of his wife, shocked
his feelings so terribly that he was almost
deprived of reason. He stood very long
inja state of utter stupefaction.and then be
gan to repeat the answer which he had re
ceived. And this ue continued to do ior
several days. ‘We are all here John Lal
ly, the piper!’ Sir Robert lived in a law
less time, justice wa9 not rightly adminis
tered and it was difficult to punish the
crimes of the powerful and noble. More
over, Sir Robert could not be induced to
seek to make a public example of his own
wife. However, he adopted a singular
and complete, though most unjust method
of vengeance. He said that the estate be*
longed of tight to his son, and that since
he could not bestow it upon him while liv
ing, he would, at least spend it upon him
when dead. And he moreover expressed
great satisfaction at the idea of depriving
his lady and her offspring of that which she
had played so foul a part so secure to them.
The body of the young Laird was accor
dingly embalmed with the most cosily drugs
and spices, and lay in state of Thirlestane
for a year anil a day; during the whole of
which time Sir Robert kept open house,
welcoming and royally feasting all who
chose to come. And in this way of reckless
and wanton profusion he actually spsnt or
mortgaged his entire estate. While the
whole country, high and low, were thus
feasting Thirlestane, the lady was kept
shut up in a vault of the castle, fed upon
bread and water. During the last three
days of this extraordinary feat, the crowds
were immense. Il was as if the whole of
the south of Scotland was assembled at
Thirlestane. Butts of the richest and ra
rest wines were carried into the field; their
ends were knocked out with hatchets, and
the liquor was carried about in stoups.
The burn of Thirlestane literally ran red
with wine. The vault where the young
Laird was interred, in a leaden coffin, is
under the roof of the church cf Ettrick,
which is distant from Thirlestane upwards
of a mile; and so numerous was the funeral
procession, that when the leaders had reach
ed the church, those in the rear had not
nearly left the castle gates. Sir, Robert
died soi-n after this, and left his family in
utter destitution. It is said that his wick
ed lady died in absolute beggary.”

the officer sprang to the window just in time
to recognize the suspected Yankee as he

for any very elaborate toilet, he tan to his
stable, mounted his fleetest courser, and

such lofty enthusiastic heroism.

a point where he was well aware the practis

waited cooly until the half donned represen-

rods distant. It seemed to late for escape,
and although at first there was a show of fight
the effort ceased, and Jonathan sat looking
like a delected smuggler when the officer
came up.

Kissing and tobacco.—Fanny Fern in re
ply to an observation by a cotemporarv, that
“the women ought to make a pledge not to
kiss a man who uses tobacco,” very per
tinently and sensibly remarks as follows:
“So they had; but tbe deuce of it is, all
the handsomest men use it in some shape!
and kissing is a little luxury not to be dis
pensed with!” As to a female kiss, faugh!
there’s no effervescence in it; it’s as flat as an
unmixed soda powdet! If I am victimized
that way, I always take an early application
of soap and water! You will see women
practice it sometimes just to keep their
hand in—lips 1 meaB—but it s a miserable
substitute! a sham article! done half the time
to tantalize some of the male audience! I
hope to be pardoned for turning “State's
evidence,” but I don’t care a pin if I ain’t.
Now kissing is a natural gift—not to be ec-
quired by a bungler—when we meet a gif*
ted brother, “make a note on’t,” as Captain
Cuttle says.—There’s your universal kiaaer,
who can’t distinguish between youra and
your grandmother’s—there’s yoer philoso

“unwritten poetry.” I have my private
suspicion that there are
